Industrial control systems and edge computing: enabling an operational architecture for applications and analytics

This white paper offers a closer look at the evolution that is taking place in edge computing today. It also covers how newer solutions can help industries execute on the new opportunities offered by the modernisation of industrial control systems.

Consolidation and the centralised nature of cloud computing has proven cost-effective and flexible over recent years, but the rise of IIOT and mobile computing has put a strain on networking bandwidth.

Ultimately, not all smart devices need to utilise cloud computing to operate. In some cases, architects can, and should, avoid the back and forth. Edge computing could prove more efficient in some areas where cloud computing operates.
